Hello Everyone, how goes it? Long time since i posted on here, i'll bring you up to date...First of all, TODAY IS FRIDAY 4 WEEKS DOWN AND 2 MORE TO GO!!! Wow time flys by when your having so much fun. I totally have stoped eating,sorry i just cant help it,(lost 20pds.)Soooo the good news is this, I am having the tube put in Monday, spent all day down town at M.D. giving blood and getting ready, DAMNIT i cant wait, i have started to scare myself and needless to say, no energy at all, haha its amazing what nutrition does for us, huh? My neck is starting to feel like a really bad "sunburn" but it is livable, my throat, well its just not that bad as long as i keep drinking water, it helps take the pain away cause it stays moist instead of dry ( little trick i learned when having my tonsils out ) Im not on any pain medicine at all, dont really feel the need to yet! Knock on wood!!! The thick spit, it drives me crazy though, someone should find a cure for that in itself, we can fly to the moon but we cant help cure dry mouth??? But that is about it so far, next week im going on 5, then only 1 more then DONE!!! Then getting well, which i just welcome not having to go to treatment every dang day!!! One question, has anyone had problems with gagging on the stint??? This has become a major ordeal with me, and it makes me cry, cause i dont know why this is happening now??? Have a great weekend everyone and lets get some rest
